thinking of ordering a SSR 953..any thoughts/ride impressions?

This bike will be used as my primary training bike; I am getting more and more involved in ultradistance cycling and am looking for a bullet proof frame that is comfortable for long distances.

I already have a super-light calfee for the mountains. I can accept the slight weight penalty of the SSR if it delivers in terms of comfort and handling.

I met someone recently that has one and loves it. This guy has eight bikes and this one is his favorite. My understanding is that it rides like a steel bike but has the added advantage of being stainless so no rust. I have heard that Pegoretti and Strong also makes bikes from Reynolds 953 stainless.
